Description
The Cyprus Conspiracy: America, Espionage and the Turkish Invasion In August 1974, a military coup in Cyprus led to a devastating invasion by Turkey, resulting in the island being divided into two parts. This event had far-reaching consequences, with the United Nations playing a key role in maintaining a fragile peace. The authors of this book argue that the coup was not a failure of American foreign policy, but rather the culmination of a long-term plot. The authors examine the strategic reasons behind Washington's decision to divide the island, and reveal a complex web of international intrigue that involved key figures from the time, including Henry Kissinger and other prominent leaders. This account provides a detailed and nuanced understanding of the events that shaped the modern history of Cyprus. By exploring the events of 1974 and their aftermath, this book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complex geopolitics of the region.
